Stompin’ Tom Connors – Don Valley Jail Lyrics

Artist: Stompin’ Tom Connors
Song: Don Valley Jail

〈Verse 1〉
I left my love to seek my fortune
Though she told me not to go
I said goodbye to Nova Scotia

Travelled to Ontario
Travelled to Ontario
There I chose the wrong companions
And we tried to rob the mail

Now I’m in Toronto city
In the old Don Valley Jail
I’m in the old Don Valley Jail
〈Chorus〉

Little darlin, do a favor for me
Don’t tell mom and dad
It would break their hearts to know
Their only son has turned out bad

And if you should see my sisters
Please don’t tell them I’m in jail
I still love you, little darlin’
I’ll be waiting for your mail

I’ll be waiting for your mail
〈Verse 2〉
Here among my few belongings
I havе pictures of the sea

But thе picture that I cherish
Is that one of you and me
It’s that one of you and me
I’ll be tryin for probation

There’s a man who comes around
Keep your fingers crossed and pray
That I’ll be Nova Scotia bound
I’ll be Nova Scotia bound

〈Chorus〉
Little darlin, do a favor for me
Don’t tell mom and dad
It would break their hearts to know

Their only son has turned out bad
You might also likeAnd if you should see my sisters
Please don’t tell them I’m in jail
I still love you, little darlin’

I’ll be waiting for your mail
I’ll be waiting for your mail
〈Verse 3〉
As I write, I think of someone

Who once said, it always seems
When they take your freedom from you
Then you’ll know what freedom means
Yes, I know what freedom means

Now I hope you get my letter
In the Nova Scotia mail
But don’t forget me in Toronto
In the old Don Valley jail

I’m in the old Don Valley jail
〈Chorus〉
Little darlin, do a favor for me
Don’t tell mom and dad

It would break their hearts to know
Their only son has turned out bad
And if you should see my sisters
Please don’t tell them I’m in jail

I still love you, little darlin’
I’ll be waiting for your mail
I’ll be waiting for your mail
In the old Don Valley Jail

I’m in the old Don Valley Jail
